[Build Ready] First time building a pc would like some feedback on current build
So this is my first time build a pc and trying to make sure i don't do anything wrong with it. I used Choosemypc.net to start building it but looking for advise on anything i need to change. So far from using the irc i have changed the RAM, Case, and PSU. I will be using this rig for mostly gaming and game programming. I will be using 2 monitors as well. Any and all advice is appreciated. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
